3. Master Data Cleansing & Integration:

Cleaned and integrated master data elements from both organizations’ procurement systems to establish a unified and streamlined procurement function.

3. Supplier Synergy Evaluation:

Analyzed and identified common suppliers between the two banks, evaluating potential synergies to reduce costs and consolidate supplier relationships.

Impact

Our efforts resulted in a smoother procurement integration, significant cost savings, and improved supplier management, setting the foundation for future growth and operational efficiency.
